Philip Johnson outside the Glass House in 1998. [1]

Philip Johnson (born 1906) was an American architectural critic and historian and a practicing architect. [2]

Philip Johnson House, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1942 to 1943. [3]

It is for those interested in the work of architect Philip Johnson and will be edited by Hilary Lewis, the Philip Johnson Scholar of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. [4]

That year he and Hitchcock mounted the first International Exhibition of Architecture, showing the work of such major modern figures as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. [2]

I majored in philosophy at Harvard, and I didn’t know if I wanted to be a teacher or a theoretician or just what, but I was always interested in art and architecture to look at. [5]

After his home was completed Johnson began moving away from Mies and that can be clearly illustrated by the guest house he built for his home in 1952. [6]

With his thick, round-framed glasses, Johnson was the most recognizable figure in American architecture for decades. [7]

He received an A. B. in architectural history from Harvard University in 1930 and upon graduation became the Director of the Department of Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. [3]

Johnson’s early influence as a practicing architect was his use of glass; his masterpiece was the Glass House (1949) he designed as his own residence in New Canaan, Connecticut, a profoundly influential work. [7]

Johnson began his career as an architectural critic and historian in 1931, when he became director of the architectural department at the newly formed Museum of Modern Art in New York. [2]

His 90th birthday, in July 1996, was marked by symposiums, lectures, an outpouring of essays in his honor and back-to-back dinners at two venerable New York institutions he had played a major role in creating: the Museum of Modern Art, whose department of architecture and design he joined in 1930, and the Four Seasons Restaurant, which he designed as part of the Seagram Building in 1958.

Welcome to the ORIGINAL, BIGGEST, BEST and MOST COMPLETE Bewitched and Elizabeth Montgomery web site on the net. [1]

Evidently inspired by such stage and screen comedy-fantasies as I Married a Witch and Bell, Book and Candle, the long-running ABC sitcom Bewitched starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens, a pert, perky, suburban housewife who happened to be a genuine witch, with all the usual magical powers. [2]

View company contact information for Bewitched on IMDbPro. [3]

This on-line magazine relates to the Bewitched TV show. [4]

Bewitched was a sophisticated ensemble situation comedy (considered light and fluffy by some) featuring relevant cultural themes in a fantasy context. [5]

Samantha was married to Darrin Stephens (played during the first five seasons by Dick York, and in the final three seasons by Dick Sargent), a rising young advertising executive who worked at the New York firm of McMahon and Tate. [2]

Equally determined was her mortal husband Darrin Stephens, a talented advertising executive with McMann & Tate. [5]

Yes, this is the bewitching town of Westport, Connecticut circa 1964! [6]

The movie isn’t technically a “remake” of “Bewitched,” since the witch played by Nicole Kidman isn’t the Samantha Stevens of the series but rather a single woman named Isabel Bigelow who gets to PLAY Samantha Stephens on TV. [7]

We offer original articles, photos and sounds, as well as unique games. [4]

Disapproving of mixed marriages between mortals and witches, Samantha’s powerful mother, Endora, was determined to prove to Samantha that the marriage was a tremendous mistake. [...] At the very center of this classic show was Elizabeth Montgomery’s portrayal of a beautiful, good-hearted witch named Samantha, a character rare in 1960’s television. [5]

Also, the Stephens household was occasionally visited by Sam’s mischievous, hippie-like identical cousin, Serena, who was played by “Pandora Spocks” (actually a pseudonym for Elizabeth Montgomery). [2]

The show starred Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York (1964′1969), Dick Sargent (1969′1972), Agnes Moorehead and David White. [8]

This June 2008 trip is the first time that Bill got to see the statue of his mother, Elizabeth Montgomery, as Samantha at Lappin Park. [4]

Styx (1972) Wooden Nickel/RCA/One Way Records. [1]

Although they began as an artsy prog rock band, Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late ’70s and early ’80s, due to a fondness for bombastic rockers and soaring power ballads. [2]

This article is about the band Styx. [3]

It is not sponsored by, affiliated with, or related to the rock band Styx in any way. [4]

The next album, Styx II, featured the hit ballad “Lady”, but when it was initially released, the song didn’t chart, which disappointed the band. [1]

While the albums (as well as nonstop touring) helped the group build a substantial following locally, Styx failed to break through to the mainstream, until the track “Lady,” originally from their second album, started to get substantial airplay in late 1974 on Chicago radio station WLS-FM. [5]

The Serpent Is Rising would foreshadow later endeavors by the group’the so-called concept album is an idiom upon which Styx would rely heavily by the 1980s. [3]

Right on the heels of Tommy Shaw’s 1987 solo album Ambition, his 1984 solo album Girls with Guns is being re-released on CD today by American Beat Records label. [4]

The record deal didn’t come until 1971, when the band signed to Wooden Nickel, a small Chicago-based subsidary of RCA Records. [...] Their friend and neighbor, Dennis DeYoung (keyboards, vocals), joined them shortly afterwards. [1]

On the eve of the tour in support of the album, Curulewski abruptly left the band, and was replaced by Tommy Shaw (sadly, Curulewski would pass away from an aneurysm in 1988). [2]

Twin brothers Chuck and John Panozzo first got together with their neighbor Dennis DeYoung in 1961 in the Roseland section of the south side of Chicago, eventually taking the band name “The Tradewinds”. [3]

Note that Jimmy Leahey who is mentioned in the article has also played with Glen Burtnik’s band in the past. [...] Since July 17, 2007 all of the surviving principle members of pre-1999-Styx (James Young, Chuck Panozzo, Tommy Shaw, Glen Burtnik, and now Dennis DeYoung) have given recent interviews. [4]

The seeds for the band were planted in another Chicago band during the late ’60s, the Tradewinds, which featured brothers Chuck and John Panozzo (who played bass and drums, respectively), as well as acquaintance Dennis DeYoung (vocals, keyboards). [2]
